Moradabad, March 14: A 25-year-old engineer has been arrested in Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad district for the brutal murder of his twin sister and a subsequent attack on his mother. The suspect, identified as Hardik, allegedly stabbed his sister, Himashikha, 84 times following a heated domestic dispute regarding his career and personal life.

The incident unfolded on March 6 after an argument broke out between the siblings.

His sister and mother, Neelima—an assistant manager at an insurance company—had been frequently counseling him to focus on his professional life and distance himself from an online relationship.
